The New Zealand Racing Board (NZRB) TAB Phonebet service will become fully automated from the start of the new season.
As a result, the Christchurch Phonebet site will be closed with the loss of 43 jobs, but a consolidated site will remain in Wellington to provide a much smaller manned service for those who have disabilities.
"I would like to thank our Christchurch Phonebet team for their professionalism during the consultation process," NZRB chief executive John Allen said. "We are working closely with them, providing support and guidance."
